Description Jiri Rechtacek 2006-04-11 11:24:37 UTC 
Module Manager can uninstall no autoloaded nor earger module. Serious inability
to uninstall a library module.

Quote from issue 72102:
------- Additional comments from jglick Wed Feb 1 15:48:20 +0000 2006 -------

"Should be fixed in module system or should be restricted Uninstall of this kind
of modules?" - both (in the opposite order). It is not currently possible to
delete an eager module while NB is running; would require changes in core of
module system to support it. So Module Manager should not offer the possibility
until that is done.
Comment 1 Jiri Rechtacek 2006-04-11 18:16:24 UTC 
Need to make a contract how to should work on autoloaded/eagers:
- allow to uninstall already loaded module?
- allow only disabled modules?
- offer to uninstall a real module with all its depended modules at once?
Currently, all module files are removed from distribution but module left valid
for the module system. bootstrap/ModuleManager handles it as a valid module,
doesn't refresh list of modules. How to propagate this change to it? It's
possible to use a brute force (something like a new method in ModuleManager) but
it's clumsy. Any ideas? Thanks

See my previously quoted comment.

I would like to fix this in NB6.0/M3.
